Tre’Von McKay ’14 and Tiger Mobile -Entrepreneurship and Education

Hello blog readers! I am Phillip Wiggins and I am a senior student at Morehouse College, a founder and managing partner for Logue Log LLC, and a business development strategist for iFundie LLC.

I am passionate about entrepreneurship, and excited about the opportunities it promises education. I am thrilled to share my stories with the REEP blog, and  about this entrepreneurship and education connection! My classmate Tre’von is a perfect example of the marriage of these two businesses.

Veering off course.

Hello REEP blog readers! I am very excited to launch today my very first blog post as a way to share with you about my MBA journey at Rice and to connect with you in the cyber space. Let’s partner and exchange ideas! Here it goes…

My name is Kelsey Adams and I am a second-year MBA at the Jones Graduate School of Business. I am also the current President of the Rice University Education Leadership Club. I attended Tulane University for my undergraduate degree and have a background in Finance, specifically Real Estate, as I managed and leased commercial properties in Atlanta for several years pre-MBA.
